Concordia held its fall convocation ceremonies yesterday at Place-des-Arts in downtown Montreal. The afternoon proceedings celebrated new graduates from the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, along with those from the Faculty of Fine Arts.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img alt="Convo-1-sm.jpg" src="http://newsfeed.encs.concordia.ca/encs_test/Convo-1-sm.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" width="440" height="283" /><i><font style="font-size: 0.8em;">From left to right: Martin Pugh, L. Jacques Ménard, Xavier-Henri Hervé, Fred Lowy, Robin Drew</font></i><br /></div><br />Front and centre was special guest, Xavier-Henri Léger, who was presented with an honorary doctorate in recognition of his innovative work in the evolving field of flight simulators. Not only is Hervé the President of <a href="http://www.mechtronix.com/">Mechtronix</a> Systems Inc., he is a Concordia alumnus who received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. It was especially fitting, then, that he was introduced by Dr. Martin Pugh, Chair of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. Taking the podium in full academic dress, Pugh praised Hervé for his business acumen and proudly told the audience that this was a man who "believes in thinking beyond traditional boundaries."<br /><br /><div align="center"><img alt="Convo-2-sm.jpg" src="http://newsfeed.encs.concordia.ca/encs_test/Convo-2-sm.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" width="440" height="285" /><font style="font-size: 0.8em;"><i>From left to right: Martin Pugh, Xavier-Henri Hervé, Robin Drew</i></font><br /></div><br />When it was Hervé's turn at the mic, he could not contain his enthusiasm, exclaiming a heartfelt "wow!" as he looked at the audience. He spoke of how the day's graduands now have the "Concordia DNA" and have been "trained to change the world through innovation." He also outlined four important elements of achievement that would help take these bright young minds to the next level: perseverance, international scope, leadership awareness, and alignment of emotions. Wrapping up his speech, he sincerely told the graduates in front of him that he was one of them now: "I'm part of your team now--give me a call if ever you need a hand!"<br /><br /><div align="center"><img alt="Convo-3-sm.jpg" src="http://newsfeed.encs.concordia.ca/encs_test/Convo-3-sm.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" width="440" height="292" /><font style="font-size: 0.8em;"><i>Concordia's Chancellor, L. Jacques Ménard presents Hervé with his diploma</i></font><br /></div><br />After all the degrees had been awarded, Concordia's President, Fred Lowy, closed the ceremony with kind words of encouragement and with hopes that all our new graduates will continue to keep in touch as they pursue careers and make their way in the world.<br /><br /><b>Related links:</b><br /><br /><ul><li>To watch the ceremony in its entirety, visit: <a href="http://webcasts.pqm.net/client/concordia/event/234/en/play/b/">http://webcasts.pqm.net/client/concordia/event/234/en/play/b/</a></li></ul><ul><li>To read more about Xavier-Henri Hervé, go to: <a href="http://webcasts.pqm.net/client/concordia/event/234/en/play/b/">http://www.concordia.ca/services/graduation-and-convocation/honorary-doctorates/#herve</a></li></ul> <div><br /></div>
